Day 4 of Ireland Tour Package
High Crosses and Whiskey
Today we’ll start off the day the usual way with a tasty home-cooked hot breakfast in the traditional kitchen of the castle before being whisked away to the land of high crosses and whiskey. The Durrow High Crosses stand as silent sentinels, guardians of a long-forgotten era, watching over the land with quiet dignity and grace. Their weathered surfaces and ancient carvings bear witness to the passage of time, a poignant reminder of the impermanence of all things. It’s a humbling experience to stand in their shadow, feeling the weight of centuries pressing down upon you and you know what, it really works up a thirst so following a few high cross selfies it’s off to quench that thirst in Kilbeggan Distillery, one of the oldest distilleries in the country.
Imagine stepping into a time machine and being transported back to the 18th century, where the aroma of oak barrels and the sound of bubbling stills create a sensory experience like no other. As you wander through the distillery, you’ll feel a deep connection to the past and a profound appreciation for the art of whiskey production. And of course, we’ll be sampling the product so we can tell them how good it is.
